I am trying to sync my mails from gmail to my local mail server using mbsync. But i keep getting an error Error: SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs found
Here is my .mbsyncrc file:
#IMAP server you wish to copy mails from.
IMAPAccount original
Host imap.gmail.com
User [email protected]
AuthMechs XOAUTH2
Pass access_token_recieved_from_google
UseIMAPS yes
CertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
# The IMAP server you wish to copy mails to.
IMAPAccount target
Host local.mail.server.host
User local_user
Pass somepass
AuthMechs LOGIN
UseIMAPS yes
CertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
# Link IMAP server to remote used below. Note Account is set to 'original' now -- we'll be set it to 'target' later!
IMAPStore my-remote

# The local storage we'll be using. Note the trailing slash at the end of the Path!
MaildirStore my-local
Path ~/mail/
Inbox ~/mail/INBOX/
# This is where the magic happens. Note Sync is set to 'Pull' now -- we'll set it to 'Push' later!

mbsync --version isync 1.2.1
looks like mbsync isn't recognizing XOAUTH2 for keyword AuthMechs. If i change the AuthMech type to LOGIN, i get an invalid credentials error. (makes sense, i put in an auth token in place of the password).
Any ideas?
